I have family that used to be in charge of dealing with institutional corruption. In particular, public service corruption.
It's bad. Very, very bad. When "public servants" are paid less than their private counterparts, are routinely treated like crap by their employers, as well as those they serve, and they are in charge of services that could be incredibly lucrative to others, you're guaranteed to get corruption.
"Let's just use AI!" is the rallying cry.
